This is the most incoherent thing I’ve read in a while. There’s hardly any discussion of dysphoria or bodies but lots of talk about fashion. These people think “gender identity” is something akin to the soul but the way they talk about it is pure style.https://www.teenvogue.com/story/trans-masculine-non-binary-conversation-affirmation-identity-beauty …

Okay but assuming you are not trans or non-binary (I am assuming that, if I am mistaken then I apologize and obviously the rest of this is void) do you see the difference between you having different experiences to other women vs. you doubting experiences you simply don't have?

Not OP but I don't personally see this as doubting others experiences. To draw an analogy - I wouldn't doubt that a hyper-masculine man found it distressing to wear a dress, but I wouldn't assume that has anything to with his intrinsic character. It's conforming to a stereotype.

"They can't be accurately relating their experiences if those experiences differ from mine" isn't skepticism. It's egocentrism.

I'm not saying they *can't*; I'm trying to balance "maybe these people are onto some legitimately 100% new sense" vs "maybe they're engaging in a frame that's not inherent and can be critiqued" is hard to know
